[rondriaan]

Here is just a other project from me because I`m have some small problems with two other projects and this one is just for clearing my mind so that I can later further with the other projects .

I have all ready started the kit bur forgotten to make a blog here

Here are some pic`s off the build.



First removing the chrome with bleach


First idea



Hmmm not good enough for me, made a new tank


Mwahh did not like it also and made some modifications on it and yes this is what I wanted


Then I started with the seat an made some clip-ons


And here we are at the moment.

Count me in, great start

[rondriaan]

Thnx guys for looking on my blog

Dicky, I have never owned a Guzzi but my brother did have one and it was a good bike to ride until he parked his bike in a car
I have ride different bikes for 30 years but now I may not drive a bike due health problems and missed it so much I ride my bike`s in the summer and winter made a lot miles on each bike a own.

Some color on the tank and seat and I`m happy with the result of it :-)

[Mence]

Wow, what a transformation Ron!

Really like the look your achieving here.

Looks like the perfect distraction and mojo-sustaining project Ron! Looking good so far.

[bullardino]

I like it

[rondriaan]

Thnx guys for you're response

I hope to put tomorrow some gloss om it so we get the real colors.
Looking again at the pictures is have a good laugh I saw that I have made a mistake with the legs off the front fork, the brakes are now at the wrong position they must pointing backward not forwards

I too am not allowed to ride a bike for 'health reasons' - Debs would kill me!!!!

That's also good reason for not riding a bike Dicky

[rondriaan]

Thnx Boo,

I have this one from Evilbay for a nice price ;-)

The Guzzi is almost done I have given the bike today his last coat off gloss after some troubles with ghost lines and one that time i dropped the seat :-( , I`m a lucky guy LOL

[rondriaan]

For me I called this one done, it`s not perfect I know but was fun to do and learning some new tricks.

Agree with guys... looking great! I really like the wrapping around the mufflers...

I love it Ron, great result especially from the back, two big exhausts and two big cylinders.

Fine work.

[wbill76]

Nice! Love the look of those tape-wrapped exhausts.
